Annual national competition in Canada’s Capital Region seeks
representatives from across the country
Canada’s Capital Region - The National Capital Commission
(NCC) is seeking applications from teams across the country to
represent their province or territory in Winterlude 2010’s
National Snow Sculpture Competition in Canada’s Capital.
Teams compete for awards and prizes with a total value of
$10,500. The deadline to submit applications is Monday,
November 30, 2009.
The annual competition sees teams of up to three members from
each province and territory transform blocks of snow measuring
3.7 m wide x 3.7 m deep x 4.9 m high (12 feet x 12 feet x 16
feet) into works of art. The theme for this year’s competition
is "Winter Fun!" Each participating team will be asked to create
a work of art that represents the joys and excitement that
winter brings to Canadians each year — including physical and
sporting activities, games, and traditions.
The competition will take place from February 9 to 13, 2010, in
Canada’s Capital Region. Transportation, accommodation and meals
are provided to participating snow sculpting team members. The
brochure and application form are available on the NCC’s website
on the Sun Life Snowflake Kingdom page.
Teams interested in competing or seeking more information are
encouraged to contact Lyne Bérard, Program Assistant,
National Snow Sculpture Competition, at 613-239-5058
or lyne.berard@ncc-ccn.ca, as soon as possible.
The 32nd edition of Winterlude will take place from February 5
to 21, 2010. Each year, this family-oriented event attracts more
than 600,000 visitors to Canada’s Capital Region. For further
